Download or read book Unleashed written by Frances Frei and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unleashed is worth an afternoon of your time, whether or not you are already a leader. It is sparkily written and personal, drawing on the experiences of co-authors (and spouses) Frei and Morriss."— Financial Times Leadership isn't easy. It takes grit, courage, and vision, among other things, that can be hard to come by on your toughest days. When leaders and aspiring leaders seek out advice, they're often told to try harder. Dig deeper. Look in the mirror and own your natural-born strengths and fix any real or perceived career-limiting deficiencies. Frances Frei and Anne Morriss offer a different worldview. They argue that this popular leadership advice glosses over the most important thing you do as a leader: build others up. Leadership isn't about you. It's about how effective you are at empowering other people—and making sure this impact endures even in your absence. As Frei and Morriss show through inspiring stories from ancient Rome to present-day Silicon Valley, the origins of great leadership are found, paradoxically, not in worrying about your own status and advancement, but in the unrelenting focus on other people's potential. Unleashed provides radical advice for the practice of leadership today. Showing how the boldest, most effective leaders use a special combination of trust, love, and belonging to create an environment in which other people can excel, Frei and Morriss offer practical, battle-tested tools—based on their work with companies such as Uber, Riot Games, WeWork, and others—along with interviews and stories from their own personal experience, to make these ideas come alive. This book is your indispensable guide for unleashing greatness in other people . . . and, ultimately, in yourself. To learn more, please visit theleadersguide.com.

Download or read book Empowered Leadership written by Robin Denise Johnson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership is a relationship - a relationship between those who lead and those who follow. In this handbook, Dr. Robin shares ways you can make that relationship empowering. She discovered through her research that empowerment in practice requires Authority (decision rights appropriate for your role), Competence (skills you need to do the work and learn), and Trust (demonstrated reciprocal respect that acknowledges interdependence and relational risks). This handbook uses the device of a Leadership Trait Questionnaire with sections for each of those three aspects of empowering relationships to help you gain insight into your experience. She shares the practical results from robust research about decision making biases to watch out for when you have authority; she explains the difference between achievement orientation and perfectionism when developing competencies; and she shares three different kinds of trust so you can decide who, when, and how much to trust others in your work context. There's also information about trust in the multicultural context that encourages thoughtful reflection and conversations. The combination of practical research-based suggestions within this interactive handbook makes it a helpful resource. Robin Denise Johnson, is a Harvard trained Ph.D. with a knack for making management research useful for practicing managers. She does executive education work globally with business, non-profit and government clients. She's solar powered. So when she's not traveling-teaching, she lives in sunny southern California.
